What is CBT?

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. It’s a practical and evidence-based approach that can help with difficulties including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem and trauma. In our sessions, you’ll learn simple but powerful tools to shift negative thinking, manage emotions, and build healthier habits. CBT is a collaborative process, meaning we’ll work together to help you feel more in control and create lasting, positive changes in your life.

  • During your first and second appointment, we'll explore your current challenges and begin to gain a clear understanding of the issue. I'll also introduce you to the principles of CBT, and together, we'll set meaningful therapy goals.

  • Together, we’ll map out a clear, written diagram of your difficulties, exploring how they developed and what’s maintaining them. This process often brings valuable insight, helping you understand the ‘why’ behind your struggles. With this clarity, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to move forward and overcome them.

  • We'll meet weekly to explore your difficulties in a practical, solution-focused way. You’ll develop a toolkit of insights and strategies to learn how to become your own therapist. Between sessions, you'll have therapeutic tasks to help you apply what you're learning, allowing you to build confidence and make meaningful progress in your daily life.
